Yep, up until my last couple of trips I would agree about the cute looking seals. I have a different opinion of them now, after our Saturday trip off Stanwell, we lost two nice reds, the second one around the 3kg mark. Despite frantic attemps by us to separate Seal from Snapper, we came off second best. The seal turned his nose up at barracouta and pike however turned up for a free feed of snapper every time. Oh well, keep trying I guess. Good fishing, I enjoy your reports Peter, keep them coming . Regards, Mike
